Hey Snowman,

  Have you ever had any of the pinging sounds coming from your engines like the ones that are being described in the lemons and cherries thread?

No, we have not experienced any problems to date. The car was a demo with 4000k on it.

Forester 1 never had any problems with pinging and Forester 2 is going on three years old and no problems whatsoever. The 2.5 is quite peppy but as to the pinging others have noted I have to think that maybe some bad gas is out there.

Well thats it then. But Snowy you didn't respond to my dirty Highlander barb so I can only assume it's true.

What are you going to do with it. Turn it in or try and sell it? I'd be curious to learn what the market value is compared to the buyout. If you don't want to post here I'll understand, so you could IM me.

Snowy maybe it might not hurt to send a IM to that other party that is considering the Highlander. Might be good deal for both of you. They are in Toronto.

INCO, the buyout is $19,XXX plus taxes and due back in March. It has 97,XXX kms on the clock. It is parked in my driveway for now. Who is looking for an HL?

Toyota dealers are asking $24k for similar lease returns.

Dharma in the Highlander vs. Forester thread - maybe she? will contact you since I think she is in Toronto and if a deal can be had?

Nice car Snowy, that's exactly the sort of thing I'll be considering in a couple of years.  That is unless I can convince the missus to go for the STi.
